Jake and Austin, More Jake and Austin, and Even More Jake and Austin!






The continuing adventures of Jake and Austin across the pond this past weekend.  Of course, they are in Europe no more, but alas! October was their month to be loved up whenever there was a rare moment alone.  Because you know how kids are, right?

Here's a live look at Jake G. trying to find a moment's quiet at the Gyllenichols household at this VERY MOMENT:




LOLLLLLLLLLL!!! Look at that little hand!!

*heehee*  All right, nah, let's get down to it because these two men were running with scissors [aka #kidfree] this past weekend:  Jake at the Rome Film Fest in Italy, while Austin was kickin' up his heels at the Paris Comic Con in France.   


 




 





 


 

And one of those famous ears:


 


 


 

There were so many pictures of Austin with fans.  I've never seen so many.  It was wonderful to see.


 
How's he feel again?


 


As Austin said in that Instagram post, he "LOVES PARIS" and it sure looks like it.  They love you too, Austin.  So everyone else, what did you think of that?

I know, right?  Let's get a look at his lil' Main Baguette, who was lightin' them up over in Rome:






















 





 






So there you have it.  Lots of flash bulbs, lots of smiles and tight hugs, and the deepest wine red the likes we haven't seen on Jake in quite awhile.  We like those wild hairs, don't we?  Yeeeeah.   We want to thank the people of Rome and Paris for sharing more of these two men than we ever get to see here in the States anymore.  These pictures were a wonderful gift.  :-)

The French "Connection"






It looks like our fave pair Jake and Austin are both quite noisily in Europe "now".  Quite a bit of bell clanging and whistle blowing going on:

Giving George Costanza's wallet a run for its money, from the ever-stretching I Heart Jake "Fan Photos" album:









And now from yesterday, Oct. 27, Austin is in his first day's appearance at the Paris Comic Con - a Festival of Pop Culture. Pretty odd, don't you think to fly 5,092 miles to attend a fan convention in Paris for the TWD? Especially, since the big Walkers Stalkers Convention - 2017, is actually taking place right now in Atlanta, Georgia this weekend. You know, the high profile fan gathering with all the big stars from the show. Norman Reedus, Andrew Lincoln, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, et al., By the way, the Atlanta convention is only 921 miles from Austin, TX. Seems like Mr. Nichols may need an abacus before he uses up all of his frequent flyer miles.

And what's even more hilarious, is that Austin is the lone representative of TWD in Paris. A person who was killed off  in December of last year. Of course, anemic attempts are being made to provide cover.  His CW enabler Paul Wesley is being placed in Europe too, and one of his apparently macaroon loving female costars (at least per her Instagram account) from his recent cinematic effort, "The Iron Orchard". But those lame attempts to cover his European whereabouts is so flimsy one could drive a Mack truck through them.

 


 


 

Hitting the souvenir stand...

Aaaah, but then we knew already that Austin loves France.  And this isn't his first Paris Comic Con.  Remember that time in 2012 when Austin attended the Paris Comic Con around the 4th of July holiday (5-8)?  He attended as a cast member of One Tree Hill back then. A little *sniff* memory of Buckin here:


And who got spotted over in Paris as well during that same time?  From a twitter account now deleted, thanks to M&M and one of her "notorious" Timeline Word Documents, we still have this old tweet on file. The Tour de France was taking place at the end of June, early July 2012. Remember those were the days when Jake was deep into the cycling world. Now, he doesn't know a Lance Armstrong. I wonder why? *smirk*:



Aaah yes, good times!  Now in 2017 in opportunistic timing, we have Jake in Italy because he's participating in an interview as well as a screening for Stronger at the Rome Film Festival.  Here's Jake today in Rome (you can see a glimpse of Jeff Bauman):

So, Austin in Paris....and Maggie was in Paris for the "Miu Miu" Paris Fashion Show in earlier October.

While around the same time if you remember, Jake was in Germany for the Zurich Film Festival.


 

Kind of beginning to take the form of a Gyllynicholsgaard European Mapquest, isn't it?  Throw in unconvincing stories about an Edible Schoolyard event in NYC, hammock swingin' and Austin City Limits in Big Texas, and Narnia is thinking the traveling commune has been skipping a good part of Autumn in New York this year.  ;-)

 Oh, and then there was this little interesting post/deletion.  A week ago, I happened to check out Austin's Instagram and noticed a pretty cool pic he had put up.  I backed out of the screen for some now regrettable reason, went back to it almost immediately and the Instagram post was gone.  Deleted. Which was why I tweeted this:

Looking at the calendar, I noticed how early it may have been to post that particular picture about Paris because Austin wasn't really due to appear at the convention until the 27th.  Folks might wonder why he was talking about Paris already, hmm?

When Austin finally did Instagram about being in Paris, he posted the T shirt picture instead of the picture I had seen.  What a shame! The picture had kind of made me think of Jim Carrey in Mask; it was a shame to not see it again.  But wait.  Someone did have the picture and they tweeted it to Huzzah! the upcoming arrival of Austin at the convention - the "source" just wasn't Austin this time. 

Kind of a nifty thing, isn't it, how that deleted picture from Austin's Instagram managed to maneuver over to a "civilian fan" social media account?

 Yeah, I thought so, too.

But let's not get too distracted by distractions.  After all, just think of what all of the sideshow was really covering up.  Sisters and a nanny or two can also indeed come in handy when a couple might want to take in the lights of France on a date night, particularly when you've all been domesticating across the pond for weeks on end.
